For which it's extremely useful. Initialize a whole bunch of variables to zero... or to a couple of values: minfoo=minbar=minquux=1000 maxfoo=maxbar=maxquux=0 There are times when I miss the "assignment is an expression" concept, but I'd say this syntax covers 90% or more of use cases for assignment expressions.
